fs: use wq_has_sleeper() in end_dir_add()

Browse Source 
The routine is used a lot, while the wakeup almost never has anyone to
deal with.

wake_up_all() takes an irq-protected spinlock, wq_has_sleeper() "only"
contains a full fence -- not free by any means, but still cheaper.

Sample result tracing waiters using a custom probe during -j 20 kernel
build (0 - no waiters, 1 - waiters):

Only 1 call out of 14000 with this backtrace had waiters.
